Finally got the cable I needed to get my scanner working again. So I'll be able to scan my artwork instead of having to take pictures of it. I'm very excited about this. I'm half curious to see how well something in pencil scans. I might try that later today.

I realized today that I don't know if I'm introverted or extroverted, because I think I'm both. On one hand I love my friends, I love surrounding myself with the people I love the most. I love talking and I'm comfortable in social situations. I'm relatively skilled at networking and connecting people. I'm not a wall flower and I know how to enjoy myself. On the other, I love being home and I go crazy if I don't get enough time to myself. Time to think and do the things I love. I would have no problem sitting in a completely empty room by myself with nothing but my thoughts to keep me company. I often prefer snuggling with a blanket and reading a book, to going out.
Maybe I'm both. Truthfully, it would make sense for me to be both. I tend to be so middle of the way in every other aspect of life. I'll just call it being balanced. Yes, that sounds better. I am balanced.

I love tea. I love, love, love tea. Steamy, sweet, and delicious. Yum. I've gotten into the habit of putting no sugar in my regular tea over the past few months. It's interesting.

I have such a deep appreciation for well written, meaningful lyrics and I'm a total sucker for sing songy voices. *sigh* As usual, my heart belongs to music.

I can't get over how devastatingly beautiful the leaves are, ruffled across the grass in brilliant shades of crimson and gold. I could lay outside among them for hours. To me, fall isn't death. It's a colorful representation of life. It's a reminder that everything has a beginning and an end. Fall is a whisper in my ear, telling me that all the bad in the world is leaving. That the memories of the past year are slowly crumbling and crunching beneath us and that all that resonates is our experiences and what we've learned from them, and that no matter how bad things might have been, it's still possible to stand tall and keep going. I love fall. I love the breeze in my hair, the way the branches seem to be reaching for the sky; begging for new beginnings. I love how everything outside can seem so scattered and so completely perfect at the same time. This is my kind of season.

My mozzarella sticks came out FANTASTICALLY. I can't wait to make them again. However, that will have to wait. I don't want to get into details. Let's just say my tummy is going to be very bored for a while.

Lines I'm in love with at the moment:
-Kiss me, save me, be my closest friend
-I could lose everything and have to begin over again.
-I can't get near you, when I do, I just can't shake the image of my hands exploring you
-but close enough to miss you and I do
-How quickly my soul is aging
-how it feels like a basement I keep filling with everything I'm tired of surviving
-I belonged to a scintillating and perplexing music I didn't expect to hear.
-He'd stare out the window so powerfully the world inside and outside our house would disappear.
-The world is moving, but my feet are standing still
-They say time's a healer, but my watch can't tell the time.
-I never met you, but I think I'm in love love love
-He jumped out of his window and his suicide failed. Well, you can't win them all.
-I'm ready for the day when I will get over you, but first just let me give myself entirely to you
-Feels like I'm falling in love, then I'm falling to the floor
-Give me some candy or I'll cut you.
-and it's cold in my apartment as I'm changing all the colors from the brightest reds to grays
-Bundle of divine cuteness!

Those are from songs, poetry, shows, and a movie or two. Just for the record. Hues is one of my favorite characters. Ever. So is Tamaki.

Talking with the Apoth crew yesterday was -amazing- :)

Peace, Love & Pancakes
